This project goes back to the LEGO Island Rebuilder [1] by (some of?) the same authors, which fixes several bugs in the original game release by patching it in memory (iirc). These fixes include some involved ones, like for the wonky framerate-dependent controls.

MattKC, who developed much of this original work, has a nice Youtube channel full of video postmortems for some of these [2]. It's kind of fun just to watch him poke around with a hex editor, unraveling the arcane mysteries of a long-sunken civilization of Win95 developers.

I've learned of MattKC through a video of his about how he ported .NET to Windows 95 (mostly).

I love the dedication content like this shows off. In an age of ever decreasing attention spans, it's nice to see someone going through the grunt work for something other than pure financial gain.

MattKC is a good YouTuber in my opinion. His videos are simple, fun and extremely information dense. I haven't had time but I purchased a Wii-U remote at a garage sale because it had all the pieces and was paired together. Days later I see MattKC on stream hacking the Bluetooth!
